Times have changed. Even when you are stuck in a meeting where you can’t take a call, you can still have important conversations with the one you love.
Did I narrowly avoid a minor disaster?
Thank you Blackberry Messenger!

Text Message conversation between me and the Hubby:

Hubs:
Hey baby. SweetGirl just found and caught a toad. She named it Mr.Nubs and she LOVES him. She really really wants to keep him.

Me:
And you told her?

Hubs:
Well… Do we still have the old aquarium?

Me:
NO.
(Thinking to myself. I already vacuum and swiffer every day thanks to our black lab who should be bald by now, I am the only one who looks after the damn fish that they just HAD to have, and you want to add some toad that you fished out of the pool to my to do list!?! Deal with this. Please.)

Hubby:
Oh.
What do you think I should do?

Me:
Honey. You are there. Can you please deal with this one?

Hubby:
Maybe the toad would be happier with its family?

Me:
Yes Honey. That’s perfect.

(Thank you for my sweet man with a big soft heart, and his blackberry)

We loved you Mr.Nubs.

    4. Aww. Great little story. Yep, my husband is a sucker too. He just can’t say no to the kids. But I love him that way.

    5. Yes I’m the same with pets. We already have the worst-shedding dog ever. And my husband is talking about stick insects and ant farms when the boys are older.

    6. You just have to love him!
      Speaking of labs we had 12 puppies years ago and about a year later one of the puppy owners called us and asked about the shedding. He said he could stuff pillows with it! I think the toad will love to be with his family.

    8. I love texting during meetings!! It keeps me sane. My friends and I even text each other during the meeting.

      Plus, no one calls you on it because they also want to text too!! Even the boss!!! And those that do not text have not freaking idea what your doing!!!
